Got back yesterday. Con was magical. It is vury, vury hot here at home. My legs are still quite sore from all the crazy antics in San Diego. We missed a few of the people we'd wanted to see, but I saw more people than I thought I would. There were so many folks there from all over the world. It was big the last time I went (4-5 years ago), but it's gotten even bigger. Someday the San Diego Convention Center will explode. Of this I am sure. The hotel was really nice, but certain aspects of it were a little stressful since it was so crowded. The trip went very well overall, especially considering it was the first time Erin and I had gone on a big trip without parents around. It's too hot and I'm too tired to write up a full report, so I'll post pictures instead.

TrekkerPuppy watching TV in our hotel room!

Yay Sora!! He was very nice and friendly.

Peoples playing a demo of the new Phoenix game.

I wanted to sign the wall, but I couldn't find my sharpie in time.

I love this poster. We got a little booklet version of it.

Craaazy crowd.

The Adult Swim booth was by far my favorite. It changed every day. This was the tacky Thursday version.

This was the view from our balcony at night.

Our hotel was pretty far from the convention center, so we had to take the trolley to get there each day.

Erin got signatures/sketches done all over her backpack. At least a third of them were by artists she'd barely heard of.

This woman was selling beanie baby bears that she'd painted on.

See, it's Jack! She had a lot of Disney related portraits.

Nintendo booth! You could download temporary demos for soon-to-be-released games.

Tokyopop!

Vic Mignogna, the voice of Ed on Fullmetal Alchemist. I wanted to get his signature, but the line was always so long. He is a pretty man.

Sci-Fi Channel booth!

Adult Swim booth on Friday. Metalocalypse theme.

Panel with Craig McCracken and the cast of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Tim & Eric! (creators of Tom Goes to the Mayor) Erin told Tim that I wrote a book, and Tim said he wanted to read it, which made me feel soo warm and fuzzy inside even though I know he was just being friendly. We briefly discussed hoagies and sandwiches with Eric, and they invited us to Tomicon, which was a Tom Goes To The Mayor fan get-together on Saturday. We tried to go, but couldn't find where it was being held in time. We'll go next year, though, if they have it again.

Seth Green and Matt Senreich! (creators of Robot Chicken)

Roman Dirge

Hall H, before the 300 panel.

Frank Miller and Gerry Butler. Do you know how awesome it was to see them teasing each other?? Highly awesome.

He is quite pretty, indeed. Jhonen wasn't there this year, but I've met him twice before so I wasn't too torn up. If he was, the SLG booth would've been ten times more crowded...eek... I hope he's there next year, though, so my friend can meet him.
